256mm front brake upgrade

I've got a big brake upgrade for Mk1 golf/caddy/cabby/Jetta for sale here,

 Uses corrado callipers, mk2 golf 16v discs and pads, and calliper carriers from an Audi 80 GTE - the complete kit of everything you need to put big brakes on your Mk1.

Callipers have new slide pins,
Discs and pads done about 2000 miles

 Getting hard to find these parts now

£150 for the whole lot collected, post will be expensive due to weight.

Are these still available? 😂

Tbh thinking of just replacing my 239 discs and adding some decent (ie Mintex/EBC pads…

But open to suggestions

Pretty sure that Retrofication were selling the required caliper carriers (256 conversion) but last time i looked, not recently, they were sold out.  Trouble with the vauxhall conversion is the pads overhang the discs, mine did anyway which just put me of…
